SERMON. 


Psalm  cxxxvii  :   5,  6. — If  I  forget  thee,  0  Jerusalem, 

LET  MY  RIGHT  HAND  FORGET  HER  CUNNING. 
IF  I  DO  NOT  REMEMBER  THEE,  LET  MY  TONGUE    CLEAVE  TO  THE 
ROOF  OF  MY    MOUTH  ;    IF    I  PREFER   NOT   JERUSALEM    ALOYE 
MY  CHIEF  JOY. 

The  Psalm  from  which  these  words  are  cited  is  one  of  the 
most  tender  and  pathetic  portions  of  Scripture.  It  contains  the 
undissemhled  language  of  a  heart  full  of  grief  on  the  recollec- 
tion of  the  choicest  privileges  now  lost,  the  dearest  hopes  now 
blasted.  We  can  hardly  conceive  the  sensations  of  a  pious 
Jew  thus  destitute  and  afflicted.  He  is  torn  by  a  cruel  arm 
from  Jerusalem,  bereft  of  the  many  comforts,  which  that  be- 
loved spot  afforded,  and  made  the  sport  of  profane  and  impious 
men.  The  feelings  of  such  an  one  are  most  justly  described  in 
the  Psalm,  which  embraces  my  text : — "  By  the  rivers  of  Baby- 
lon there  we  sat  down ;  yea,  we  wept  when  we  remembered 
Zion.  We  hanged  our  harps  upon  the  willows  in  the  midst 
thereof.  For,  there  they  that  carried  us  away  captive,  re- 
quired of  us  a  song,  and  they  that  wasted  us  required  of  us 
mirth,  saying,  sing  us  one  of  the  songs  of  Zion."  The  enemy 
not  only  spoiled  them  of  what  little  they  possessed  ;  he  upbraid- 
ed them  in  their  distress.  He  urged  them  to  be  merry.  But, 
every  feeling  of  their  heart  revolted  at  such  a  desecration. 
u  How  shall  Ave  sing  the  [^Lord's  song" — exclaim  they — "in  a 
strange  land  ?"  And  now  the  forlorn  Jew,  dwelling  with  mourn- 
ful satisfaction  on  the  happiness  of  privileges  once  enjoyed,  and 
cherishing  an  unshaken  and  undiminished  attachment  to  Jerusa- 


4  LOVE    TO    THE    CHURCH. 

lem,  breaks  out  in  the  impassioned  language  of  my  text :  "  If 
I  forget  thee,  0  Jerusalem,  let  my  right  hand  forget  her  cun- 
ning. If  I  do  not  remember  thee,  let  my  tongue  cleave  to  the 
roof  of  my  mouth,  if  I  prefer  not  Jerusalem  above  my  chief 
joy."  Jerusalem  was  the  appointed  place  of  their  solemnities, 
"  whither  the  tribes  went  up,  the  tribes  of  the  Lord,  unto  the 
testimony  of  Israel,  to  give  thanks  unto  the  name  of  the  Lord." 
There  they  celebrated  their  sacred  feasts,  and  observed  the  pub- 
lic ordinances  of  their  religion.  On  that  consecrated  spot  they 
were  favored  with  the  clearest  manifestations  of  their  covenant 
God.  There  they  communed  with  Him  and  with  one  another ; 
and  thence  was  derived  an  influence  to  quicken  and  animate  all 
their  tribes,  to  sustain  and  bless  their  entire  community. 

It  was  not  then,  without  reason,  that  the  pious  Jew  loved  Je- 
rusalem ;  and  his  attachment  to  it  was  very  strong ;  it  was 
paramount.  It  rose  to  an  eminence  above  his  highest  joy.  He 
solemnly  imprecates  evil  upon  himself  should  lie  suffer  his  affec- 
tion to  die  or  decline.  "  Let  my  right  hand  forget  her  cunning :" 
let  it  no  more  perform  its  office.  u  Let  my  tongue  cleave  to  the 
roof  of  my  mouth:"  let  me  be  forever  disabled,  cither  to  sing- 
er play  on  an  instrument,  if  I  desecrate  the  sacred  songs  of 
Zion,  or  if  I  even  forget  Jerusalem.  Nothing  shall  extinguish 
my  love  for  her.  Neither  the  afflictions  nor  the  allurements  of 
this  land  of  my  captivity  shall  cool  the  ardor  of  my  love  for  Je- 
rusalem. My  heart  is  there,  and  nothing  shall  turn  it  in  another 
direction. 

Jerusalem  in  this  connection — agreeably  to  a  frequent  accep- 
tation of  the  term  in  Scripture — may  be  considered  as  denoting 
the  church.  The  passage  before  us,  then,  obviously  contains 
the  sentiment,  that  good  men  love  the  church. 

The  text  is  not  a  solitary  instance  to  this  effect.  The' Psalm- 
ist often  expresses  the  same  deep  interest  in  the  church  of  God, 
and  the  Scriptures  are  full  of  examples  of  the  same  character. 
How  strong  was  the  affection,  how  intense  the  concern,  which 
Moses  manifested  on  this  subject !     He  even  prayed  God  to 


LOVE   TO   THE   CHURCH.  ° 

I  bt  his  own  name  from  his  book  rather  than  refuse  his  interpos- 
ing mercy  to  his  people.     The  aged  Eli  was  not  disturbed  when 
informed  of  the  defeat  of  the  armies  of  Israel,  and  of  the  death 
even  of  his  two  sons  llophni  and  Phinehas  :  but  when  told  that 
"  the  ark  of  God  was  taken;'  the  shock  was  too  much,  and  he 
-•  fell  backward  and  gave  up  the  ghost,"     Nchemiah,  when  he 
heard  of  the  desolation  that  had  spread  over  the  helovcd  city, 
and  the  great  affliction  in  which  Ids  brethren  were  involved, 
"  sat  down  and  wept  and  mourned  certain  days  and  fasted  and 
prayed  before  the  God  of  heaven."     When  interrogated  why 
his  countenance  was  sad,  he  replied,  "  Why  should  not  my  coun- 
tenance be  sad,  when  the  city,  the  place  of  my  fathers'  sepul- 
chres lieth  waste,  and  the  gates  thereof  are  consumed  with  fire  ?" 
In  the  time  of  Jeremiah  the  church  was  greatly  afflicted.     Her 
depressed  condition  made  the  prophet  weep,  and  in  the  extremi- 
ty of  his  grief  exclaim,  "  Oh  that  my  head  were  waters,  and 
mine  eyes  a  fountain  of  tears,  that  I  might  weep,  day  and  night, 
for  the  slain  of  the  dan-liter  of  my  people  !"     And  it  was  this 
render  and  paramount  love  for  the  church  of  God,  that  swayed 
the  Apostles  and  primitive  Christians.     It  glowed  in  the  breast 
of  Paul,  and  animated  all  his  labors.     And  there  have  always 
been  those  of  a  kindred  spirit.     The  welfare  of  Zion  has  lain 
near  their  heart,    Whether  in  the  time  of  her  affliction  or  in  the 
day  of  her  prosperity,  they  have  preferred  her  above  their  chief 
joy  !     And  it  is  fit  it  should  be  so.     It  is  the  spirit  of  Christ, 
who  "  loved  his  church,  and  gave  himself  for  it,  an  offering  and 
a  sacrifice  to  God  of  a  sweet  smelling  savor." 

There  are  many  and  sufficient  reasons,  which  inspire  and  jus- 
t'n'v  this  love  to  the  church.  Some  of  these  it  is  proposed  *to 
make  the  basis  of  present  remark.     And 

First.  The  church  challenges  the  love  of  good  men  as  a 
trophy  of  divine  grace,  and  as  a  medium  of  illustrating  the  per- 
fections and  manifesting  the  glory  of  God. 

The  consecrated  community  of  professed  believers  can,  nei- 
ther as  a  body  nor  as  individuals,  lay  claim  to  perfection  of 


(.)  LOVE   TO    THE    CHURCH. 

character.  The  truly  sanctified  are  within  her  pale  and  they 
bear  the  image  of  the  heavenly, — are  partakers  of  a  divine  na- 
ture ;  but  they  are  compassed  with  infirmities.  There  is  '  another 
law  in  their  members  warring  against  the  law  of  their  mind,  and 
bringing  them  into  captivity  to  the  law  of  sin.'  And  then — it  is 
a  fact  to  be  lamented — ':  they  are  not  all  Israel,  who  are  of  Is- 
rael." "  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  net,  that  was 
cast  into  the  sea  and  gathered  of  every  kind."  It  has  always 
been  the  reproach  of  true  religion  and  the  grief  of  its  real 
friends,  that  the  unworthy  have  found  a  place  within  the  com- 
munity of  God's  people,  and  that  the  character  of  his  own  chil- 
dren has  been  defaced  by  so  many  spots.  "  Nevertheless  the 
foundation  of  God  standeth  sure ;  the  Lord  knoweth  them  that 
are  his."  Much  as  there  is  of  alloy  within  the  church  of  God, 
there  is  real  virtue  there.  Redeemed  sinners,  trophies  of 
divine  grace,  are  within  that  inclosure.  The  subjects  of  a  spir- 
itual birth,  the  sons  and  daughters  of  the  Lord  Almighty  are 
there.  The  image  of  Christ  isvreally  though  imperfectly  re- 
flected by  them.  And  moral  excellence,  as  thus  portrayed, 
commands  the  love  of  good  men.  "Every  one  that  loveth  him 
that  begat,  loveth  him  also  that  is  begotten  of  him."  They 
therefore  love  the  church,  which  embodies  those,  who  sustain 
this  character.  It  makes  an  appeal,  which  they  cannot  resist. 
It  possesses  a  power  of  attraction  to  which  their  hearts  sponta- 
neously yield.  They  regard  it  as  embracing  the  excellent  of 
the  earth,  in  whom  is  all  their  delight. 

And  it  is  believed  that  nearly  all  the  truly  pious  are  to  be 
found  there.  That  there  are  some,  who  shrink  from  the  respon- 
sibilities of  a  Christian  profession,  who,  in  the  main,  are  govern- 
ed by  the  principles  of  the  gospel,  we  have  no  reason  to  doubt. 
But  the  number  of  such  is  comparatively  few.  Love  to  God 
will  incline  men  to  keep  his  sayings,  and  to  have  respect  to  all 
his  commandments.  The  subjects  of  divine  grace  are  within  the 
pale  of  the  church,  and  it  is  thus  as  exhibiting  the  graces  of  the 
Spirit,  that  she  secures  the  love  of  every  pious  heart. 


LOVE   TO   THE   CHURCH.  i 

The  church  also  is  a  medium  for  illustrating  the  perfections 

and  manifesting  the  glory  of  God. 

The  display  of  his  own  perfections  is  the  great  end  -which  Je- 
hovah has  ever  kept  in  view,  in  all  the  works  of  his  hands,  and 
in  all  the  events  of  his  Providence.  lie  created  all  things,  and 
for  his  glory  they  are  and  were  created.  They  declare  his  glo- 
ry, and  show  forth  his  praise.  But  God  has  chosen  the  medium 
of  his  church,  above  all  other  methods,  to  make  known  the  per- 
fections of  his  character.  It  is  the  church  of  redeemed  sinners, 
which  is  to  he  "  to  the  praise  of  the  glory  of  his  grace." 
"  And  to  make  all  men  see  what  is  the  fellowship  of  the  myste- 
ry,"— the  divine  plan  of  operation — "  which  from  the  beginning 
of  the  world  hath  been  hid  in  God,  who  created  all  things  by 
Jesus  Christ ;  to  the  intent  that  now  unto  the  principalities 
and  powers  in  heavenly  places  might  be  known  by  the  church 
the  manifold  wisdom  of  God."  Here  is  an  aspect  of  the  divine 
character,  that  the  universe  had  never  before  beheld.  Lost 
sinners  are  pardoned  and  saved — and  still  the  law  and  govern- 
ment of  God  are  maintained  and  honored.  Here  is  a  practical 
exemplification  of  the  love  and  mercy  of  the  Deity.  The  attri- 
butes of  his  character  are  here  brought  out  and  exposed  to  view 
as  they  might  never  otherwise  have  been.  And  while  the  de- 
velopments of  this  plan  of  mercy  add  new  zest  to  the  bliss  of 
heaven,  they  give  joy  to  every  pious  heart.  And  the  church, 
which  is  the  constituted  medium  of  this  display,  will,  therefore, 
command  the  love  of  all  who  regard  the  glory  of  God.  Hon- 
ored thus  in  the  arrangements  of  Infinite  Wisdom  the  Christian 
loves  her. 

Another  Reason  for  this  attachment  is  the  important  and 
happy  influence  which  the  church  exerts,  and  which  she  is  des- 
tined to  exert  upon  the  world. 

The  church  of  Christ  is  the  salt  of  the  earth,  arresting  moral 
putrefaction,  and  imparting  a  conservative  and  renovating  ele- 
ment. The  civil  community  is  not  a  little  indebted  to  this 
source.     The   privileges   and   ordinances   associated   with   the 


8  LOVE   TO    THE   CHURCH. 

church  are  productive  of  more  peace  and  prosperity  to  society, 
than  all  other  means  combined.  They  impose  a  strong  restraint 
upon  the  passions  of  men,  even  where  they  are  attended  with 
no  saving  results.  Under  their  shadow  knowledge  and  intelli- 
gence are  more  generally  diffused,  and — what  is  of  special  inter- 
est to  us  as  citizens  of  a  free  republic — in  the  absence  of  the 
institutions  of  religion,  that  virtue  which  is  essential  to  self  gov- 
ernment, cannot  be  maintained. 

There  is  nothing  which  men  expend,  for  which  they  receive,, 
even  in  a  temporal  view,  so  ample  a  remuneration  as  what  they 
expend  to  sustain  the  worship  and  ordinances  of  God's  house. 
In  neglect  of  these,  they  suffer  loss  and  betray  a  mistaken  poli- 
cy.    The  children  of  Judah,  in  the  time  of  the  prophet  Haggai, 
grew  remiss  in  relation  to  this  subject.     They  turned  their  at- 
tention to  the  building  and  ornamenting  of  houses  for  them- 
selves, and  seemed  content,  that  the  house  of  the  Lord  should 
lie  waste.     For  this  stupidity  and  negligence  the  land  was  smit- 
ten with  barrenness.     '  The  heaven  over  them  was  stayed  from 
dew,  and  the  earth  was  stayed  from  her  fruit.'     Hence  the 
Lord  called  upon  them  to  consider  their  ways,  to  look  at  the 
state  of  their  affairs,  and  they  might  see  at  once  that  their  con- 
duct was  as  impolitic  as  it  was  wicked.     By  their  remissness  in 
relation  to  the  ordinances  of  religion,  they  suffered  in  their  tem- 
poral interests.    "  Now,  therefore,  thus  saith  the  Lord  of  Hosts, 
consider  your  ways.     Ye  have  sown  much,  and  bring  in  little  ; 
ye  eat,  but  ye  have  not  enough ;  ye  drink,  but  ye  are  not  filled 
Avitk  drink  ;  ye  clothe  you,  but  there  is  none  warm  ;  and  he  that 
earneth  wages,  earneth  wages  to  put  into  a  bag  with  holes." 
Thus  the  delinquency  of  the  people,  of  whom  the  prophet  here 
complains,  in  neglecting  to  sustain  the  house  of  the  Lord,  incur- 
red the  divine  displeasure  and  impoverished  them.     And  such 
is  always  the  fruit  attendant  on  such  neglect.     It  is  a  withhold- 
ing more  than  is  meet.     Annihilate  the  influence  that  is  diffused 
in  any  place  by  the  privileges  of  the  gospel,  and  the  value  of 
property  declines,  the  morals  of  the  people  deteriorate,  and  ev-

Cry  thing  that  is  lovely  and  of  good  report  withers  and  dies.  No 
fact  is  more  obvious,  in  all  the  history  of  the  past,  than  that  men 
are  too  depraved  to  live  without  the  gospel.  To  dispense  with 
this  is  suicidal.  It  is  expensive  of  property  and  morals,  and  all 
the  most  valued  interests  of  society.  The  influence,  then,  that 
goes  forth  from  the  church  of  Christ,  is  attended  with  no  little 
temporal  good.     "  It  has  the  promise  of  the  life  that  now  is." 

But  the  salvation  of  the  soul  is  the  great  and  paramount  in- 
terest, and  the  appointed  means  of  this  are  committed  to  the 
custody  of  the  church.  She  is  "  the  pillar  and  ground  of  the 
truth."  She  is,  and  always  has  been,  the  constituted  medium 
and  dispenser  of  good  influences  to  the  world.  When  in  ancient 
times  a  revelation  was  to  be  given,  holy  men  were  inspired  and 
made  the  organs  of  communicating  it.  When  the  gospel  was  to 
be  diffused  among  the  nations  of  the  earth,  Apostles  were  com- 
missioned to  go  forth  and  publish  it.  And  what  is  done  in  these 
latter  days  for  the  evangelization  of  the  world,  and  its  redemp- 
tion from  error  and  sin,  is  principally  done  through  the  instru- 
mentality of  the  church  of  God.  Other  associations  and  instru- 
mentalities may  be  subsidiary  to  the  same  great  object  as  that 
for  which  the  church  was  constituted,  but  they  are  human  in 
then*  origin,  and  may  be  temporary  in  their  influence  and  ef- 
fects. But  the  church  of  God  is  destined  to  survive  all  the 
changes  and  revolutions  of  time.  She  shall  never  die.  The 
promise  is  sure,  for  the  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken  it.  "The 
gates  of  hell  shall  never  prevail  against  her."  She  has  been  of- 
ten and  violently  assailed.  The  sword  of  persecution  has  not 
seldom  caused  her  blood  to  flow ;  false  brethren  have  stabbed 
her  at  the  vitals,  and  her  own  manifold  faults  have  sometimes 
almost  wrought  her  ruin.  And  every  form  of  opposition,  which 
the  united  malice  of  the  world  and  the  powers  of  darkness  could 
devise,  has  been  arrayed  against  her.  Yet,  still  she  lives.  Like 
the  burning  bush,  she  is  not  consumed ;  like  the  rock  in  mid- 
ocean,  lashed  by  its  raging  billows,  she  stands,  a  monument  of 
Jehovah's  love, — the  object  of  his  special  care.     And  she  is  des- 


10  LOVE   TO   THE   CHURCH. 

tinecl  to  live,  till  through  her  instrumentality  the  "kingdoms  of 
this  world  have  become  the  kingdoms  of  Christ" — till  the  church 
militant  is  embraced  in  the  church  triumphant.  She  is  yet  to 
achieve  many  signal  victories,  and  to  gather  within  her  pale  a 
'great  multitude  which  no  man  can  number,  out  of  every  kindred 
and  people  and  nation.'  Freed  from  all  alloy,  and  clothed  in 
virgin  purity,  '  without  spot,  or  wrinkle,  or  any  such  thing,'  she 
will  shine  forth  as  the  sun  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

It  is  not,  then,  without  reason,  that  the  Christian  has  set  his 
affection  to  the  church  of  God.  Her  delinquencies  and  defects, 
indeed,  cannot  be  too  deeply  mourned.  They  oppose  the  great- 
est hinderance  to  the  conversion  of  the  world.  Still,  what  com- 
munity on  earth  will  compare  with  the  church  of  God,  in  moral 
excellence  of  character  and  beneficial  influence  upon  the  world 
at  large  ?  If  we  cannot  find  the  fast  and  ardent  friends  of  ed- 
ucation and  intellectual  improvement,  the  promoters  of  sound 
morality  and  good  order  in  society ;  if  we  cannot  find  philan- 
thropy, a  sympathy  for  the  oppressed,  and  whatever  tends  or 
alms  to  meliorate  the  condition  of  our  race  ;  if  we  cannot  find 
these  lovely  traits  of  character  and  these  fruits  of  benevolence 
in  the  church  of  God,  we  can  find  them  no  where.  And  the 
day  approaches,  when  the  church  will  still  more  clearly  reflect 
the  image  of  her  Great  Head,  and  exert  a  wider  and  more  ben- 
eficial influence  upon  the  world.  Awaking  from  an  indolent  re- 
pose, and  escaping  from  every  sinful  alliance,  she  is  destined  to 
become  an  'eternal  excellency, the  joy  of  many  generations.'  Her 
members  are  to  become  "kings  and  priests  unto  God,  and  reign 
with  Christ  forever."  Well  then  may  the  Christian  love  the 
church  of  God.  Well  may  he  prefer  her  above  his  chief  joy. 
His  most  precious  interests  are  identified  with  hers.  In  connec- 
tion with  her  ordinances  and  institutions  his  soul  has  been  warm- 
ed into  spiritual  life,  and  enjoyed  an  earnest  of  heaven.  And 
under  the  same  blessed  tuition,  he  is  daily  becoming  meet  to  ob- 
tain that  world.  His  anxieties  and  his  joys  are  with  the  church 
of  Christ.     In  circumstances  of  deep  depression,  as  well  as  in 


LOVE   TO    TIIE    CHURCH.  11 

the  day  of  her  prosperity,  his  sympathies  are  with  her.  His 
best  friends,  his  chosen  companions,  are  within  her  community, 
and  from  her  he  would  never  be  separated.  With  the  ardent 
Moabitess,  he  would  peremptorily  say:  "Entreat  me  not  to 
■  thee,  or  to  return  from  following  after  thee ;  for  whither 
thou  goest  I  will  go,  and  where  thou  lodgest  I  will  lodge  ;  thy 
people  shall  be  my  people,  and  thy  God  my  God." 

From  this  brief  illustration  of  the  sentiment  of  the  text,  I 
remark, 

I.  If  the  church  of  God  prefers  so  just  and  strong  a  claim 
upon  our  love, — if  she  actually  and  deservedly  occupies  so  high 
a  place  in  the  affections  of  every  Christian,  then  wo  ought,  to 
the  extent  of  our  ability,  to  sustain  her  and  extend  her  privi- 
leges. 

Our  love  for  Zion,  if  it  be  intelligent  and  worthy  of  the  name, 
will  not  evaporate  in  mere  emotion.  With  the  prophet  we  shall 
be  constrained  to  say,  "  For  Zion's  sake  will  I  not  hold  my 
peace  ;  and  for  Jerusalem's  sake  I  will  not  rest,  until  the  right- 
eousness thereof  go  forth  as  brightness,  and  the  salvation  thereof 
as  a  lamp  that  burnetii."  Such  are  always  the  promptings  of 
that  love,  which  is  the  fulfilling  of  the  law.  It  aims  at  nothing, 
it  will  be  satisfied  with  nothing  less.  Divine  grace  is  diffusive. 
Light  is  given  to  be  dispensed.  All  the  imagery  of  Scripture 
graphically  describes  religion  as  progressive  in  its  nature,  and 
aggressive  in  its  movements.  It  was  not  the  design  of  heaven, 
that  the  church  with  her  privileges  should  be  confined  to  a  lim- 
ited portion  of  our  race.  The  field  is  the  world,  and  it  all  be- 
longs to  Christ.  A  strong  hand  of  support  should  be  rendered 
to  every  feeble  branch  of  Zion.  In  imitation  of  the  apostle,  in 
another  though  different  case,  we  should,  "  in  so  laboring  sup- 
port the  weak."  And  the  obligation  has  been  paitially  recog- 
nized. There  have  been  those  in  every  age,  who  have  minister- 
ed to  the  necessities  of  the  church, — aided  in  bearing  her  bur- 
dens, and  so  fulfilled  the  law  of  Christ.  And  such  has  been 
the  benevolent  office  of  the  Society,  whose  forty -first  anniversary

in  the  good  providence  of  God  we  now  celebrate.  For  the  peri- 
od already  named,  this  Association  has  held  on  its  way,  planting 
churches  in  all  the  different  sections  of  the  State,  and  strength- 
ening the  feeble,  so  that  comparatively  few  within  our  borders 
are  not  indebted  to  its  fostering  care.  The  obligation,  then, 
which  it  is  the  design  of  these  remarks  to  enforce,  has  not  been 
unheeded.  But,  further  aid  is  required.  Many  of  these  church- 
es, fathers  and  brethren,  which  have  hitherto  been  watered  by 
your  charities,  still  look  to  you  for  help.  Some  of  them  are 
struggling  for  life,  and  making  an  effort  to  retain  the  privileges 
of  the  gospel,  of  which  many  of  us  may  be  little  aware ;  and 
which,  did  the  same  spirit  of  sacrifice  obtain  throughout  our 
churches,  every  pecuniary  liability  of  your  Society  would  be 
fully  met,  and  its  resources  greatly  increased.  There  are  those 
who  would  be  made  glad  and  profited,  could  they  share  more 
largely  in  your  aid,  and  the  munificence  of  the  Christian  public. 
They  are  oppressed,  and  need  a  more  ample  assistance.  "  And 
there  remaineth  yet  very  much  land  to  be  possessed."  The 
desert  and  the  solitary  place  are  still  at  our  door.  Fresh  open- 
ings in  the  forest  demand  our  labors.  For,  there  sometimes  the 
child  of  God,  like  the  captive  Jew  in  exile  from  Christian  privi- 
leges, weeps  when  he  remembers  Zion  ;  and  there  the  anxious 
parent  mourns  the  untoward  influences  to  which  his  offspring  are 
exposed.  We  are  then  debtors  to  the  church  of  God,  and  to 
those  who  are  destitute  of  her  peculiar  privileges.  And  an  on- 
ward movement  in  the  liquidation  of  this  debt,  or  in  prosecution 
of  this  work  of  mercy,  is  the  only  one  that  comports  with  the 
spirit  of  the  age  in  which  we  live,  the  nature  of  the  enterprize 
in  which  we  are  engaged,  and  above  all,  the  weighty  responsi- 
bilities which  press  upon  us.  The  field  which  is  more  especially 
under  the  supervision  of  the  Maine  Missionary  Society,  and  on 
which  we  are  more  immediately  called  to  expend  our  labors,  is  a 
most  important  one  ;  and  I  rejoice  in  the  fact,  that  it  is  our  ex- 
clusive privilege  to  cultivate  it.  We  need  no  foreign  aid  in  this 
labor  of  love.     The  benefaction  would  be  diverted  from  others 


LOVE   TO   TIIE   CHURCH.  13 

whose  necessities  are  equally  urgent  as  our  own,  or  whose  wants 
are  still  more  imperious.  And  then  it  would  subtract  so  much 
from  our  own  blessedness  of  giving  ;  it  would  take  away  some- 
what from  the  gratification  of  our  own  benevolent  disposition. 
And  let  the  friends  of  Zion  feel  the  pressure  of  obligation  that 
rests  upon  them,  and  devise  liberal  things,  and  the  Society  will 
have  no  occasion  to  impose  any  undesirable  restriction  upon  its 
expenditures,  but  may  occupy  without  embarrassment,  every 
opening  field,  meet  every  call  of  Providence,  and  promptly  and 
with  a  strong  hand  sustain  all  its  faithful  missionaries. 

And  let  us  cherish  the  hope,  that  the  day  is  not  far  distant 
when,  from  the  well  cultivated  fields  within  our  own  prescribed 
domain,  we  will  turn  our  eye  to  the  far  South  and  West,  and 
there  help  support  the  church  of  God,  and  lift  up  a  standard  for 
the  people. 

And  when  we  look  over  our  country  in  its  wide  extent,  and 
mark  the  sins  which  have  obtained  ascendancy,  the  prevalence 
of  error  in  all  its  varied  forms,  and  the  many  perils  to  which  we 
are  exposed,  our  obligations  and  responsibilities  assume  a  vast 
importance.  What  idolatry  of  wealth,  what  rabid  worldliness, 
what  scenes  of  unblushing  iniquity,  do  the  eyes  of  Infinite  Purity 
behold !  And  the  yoke  of  slavery,  with  strange  incongruity, 
still  pressing  upon  its  vassals  in  this  land  of  free  institutions ! 
And  the  alarm  of  war  and  the  deadly  strife  have  scarcely  ceased 
from  among  us,  even  at  this  period  of  the  nineteenth  century. 
Moreover,  how  multiplied  and  powerful  are  the  foreign  influen- 
ces, which  are  coming  in  and  operating  to  lay  waste  the  heritage 
of  God  in  this  our  beloved  land  !  The  duty,  then,  we  now  urge 
— and  especially  so  far  as  it  relates  to  our  own  land — is  second 
in  importance  to  none  other.  If  the  church  of  Christ  is  not  sus- 1 
tained,  and  if  gospel  truth  and  privileges  as  emanating  from  her 
are  not  effectual  to  save  us,  our  country's  last  hope  will  have 
expired  ;  nor  do  we  unduly  magnify  the  importance  of  our  land 
when  we  say,  that  in  such  a  reverse  of  our  hopes,  a  dark  cloud 
will  have  come  over  the  prospect  of  the  world's  conversion.  For 


14  LOVE   TO    THE    CHURCH. 

so  far  as  instrumentality  is  concerned,  we  believe  the  American 
church  is  destined  to  exert  a  commanding  influence  in  achieving 
that  long  predicted  event.  Her  own  vineyard,  then,  must  be 
diligently  kept ;  the  pulse  at  her  heart  must  beat  strong  and 
vigorous,  or  she  will  send  forth  no  refreshing  influence  abroad. 
Those  streams  of  benevolence  which  have  already  begun  to  flow, 
and  with  increasing  dimensions  are  making  verdant  the  arid 
heath  in  pagan  lands,  would  quickly  be  dried  up.  Those  lamps 
of  salvation,  which  have  been  lighted,  and  which  now  illumine 
the  dark  places  of  the  earth,  would  at  once  be  extinguished. 
Our  field  of  benevolent  labor  is  one,  and  to  suffer  any  depart- 
ment of  it  to  languish,  whether  that  in  proximity,  or  that  which 
is  remote,  is  mistaken  and  suicidal  policy.  There  is  a  recipro- 
cal influence.  A  faithful  discharge  of  our  duty  in  one  part  of 
the  great  field  allotted  us  to  cultivate,  prepares  the  way  for  cor- 
respondent efforts  and  a  more  bountiful  harvest  in  the  other. 
Let  the  Society  now  assembled  fulfil  its  duty  in  its  own  appro- 
priate sphere,  and  its  influence  will  be  felt  for  good  in  China,  in 
the  isles  of  the  sea,  and  to  the  ends  of  the  earth.  In  the  order 
of  nature,  and  what  is  more,  in  the  order  of  apostolic  example, 
the  field  in  our  immediate  connection  has  the  first  and  strongest 
claim  upon  us.  And  if  this  is  not  occupied  and  rightly  improv- 
ed, we  shall  be  held  accountable.  But,  the  church  of  God  we 
must  sustain, — her  privileges  we  must  impart  to  the  destitute  ; 
and  the  only  scriptural  measure  of  procedure  in  this  great  work 
is  to  make  our  efforts  commensurate  with  our  ability ;  it  is  "to 
do  what  we  can." 

II.  Oar  subject  suggests  the  importance  and  necessity  of  a 
deep  and  paramount  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  church,  in  or- 
der that  we  may  most  successfully  labor  for  her  enlargement. 

The  captive  Jews  felt  a  tender  and  absorbing  interest  in  the 
city  of  their  national  solemnities.  That  beloved  spot  was  imbed- 
ded in  their  affections  ;  and  though  now  in  banishment  from  its 
peculiar  privileges,  their  hearts  were  there,  and  they  could  truly 
aver,  that  they  preferred  it  above  their  chief  joy.     Nor  was 


LOVE   TO   THE    CHURCH.  15 

their  attachment  a  transient  emotion,  or  evanescent  impression, 
that  might  rise  or  vanish  as  circumstances  were  favorable   or 
adverse-     In  prosperity  and  adversity,  their  commanding  ob- 
ject of  affection  was  one  and  the  same.     And  under  the  influ- 
ence of  such  a  spirit  they  were  prepared,  as  occasion  called,  to 
sustain  and  defend  that  object.    And  such  should  be  the  posture 
of  our  minds  in  relation  to  the  church  of  Christ.     It  is  not  pas- 
sion or  impulse,  but  deep-seated,  intelligent  principle,  that  is 
needed  to  meet  the  exigences  of  the  church  at  the  present  day. 
The  sacrifices  and  efforts,  that  arc  demanded  will  otherwise  be 
withheld.     It  is  fixed  and  earnest  principle,  that  has  inspired 
men,  and  nerved  their  arm,  and  urged  them  on  to  great  achieve- 
ments in  things  pertaining  to  this  world.      This  principle  has  of- 
ten been  so  strong  and  all-pervading,  that  the  subjects  of  it  have 
been  prepared  to  brave  any  perils,  and  to  seal  the  testimony  of 
their  attachment  to  the  cause  they  have  espoused  with  their 
blood.     And  we  need  thus  to  identify  ourselves,  and  all  we  hold 
dear,  with  the  church  of  Christ.     With  our  own  hearts  thus  im- 
bued with  the  spirit  of  the  gospel,  we  are  prepared  to  put  forth 
effort  to  best  advantage  for  the  good  of  others.  This  is  the  gauge 
and  foundation  of  relative  usefulness.     Hence  the  wisdom  of  the 
Psalmist's  prayer,  where  he  supplicates  : — "  God  be  merciful  un- 
to us  and  bless  us  ;  and  cause  his  face  to  shine  upon  us  ;  that 
thy  way  may  may  be  known  upon  earth,  thy  saving  health  among 
all  nations."     Here  is  the  true  source  of  enlarged  benevolence  i 
and  missionary  activity.     If  the  friends  of  Zion  can  come  to  feel 
as  they  ought  themselves,  the  greatest  obstacle  to  the  progress 
of  truth  and  holiness  will  be  removed.     The  word  of  the  Lord 
will  have  free  course  and  be  glorified  :  God's  way  will  be  known 
upon  earth,  his  saving  health  among  all  nations.    The  tide  of  be- 
nevolent feeling  in  our  own  soids  will  not  rise  or  send  forth  its  / 
refreshing  influences  above  its  own  wonted  level ;  and  the  more 
elevated  this,  the  more  widely  will  it  be  diffused  over  the  broad  ! 
field  of  Christian  benevolence.     What  is  most  of  all  things  need-  ' 
ed,  is  a  larger  measure  of  the  Spirit  of  Him  who,  though  rich, 


16  LOVE   TO   TIIE   CHURCH. 

for  our  sakes  became  poor, — a  deeper,  an  all-pervading  spirit  of 
piety, — an  entire  consecration  of  soul  to  Christ  and  the  welfare 
of  the  church.  This  is  the  great  exigency  of  the  Christian 
world.  For  this  the  whole  creation  groaneth  and  travaileth  to- 
gether in  pain  until  now.  Let  this  delinquency  be  met,  and  the 
church  would  quickly  enlarge  her  borders ;  the  conversion  of 
the  world  would  advance  apace. 

The  necessary  funds  would  be  promptly  afforded.  The  lib- 
eral disbursement  of  these  would  be  matter  of  serious  calcula- 
tion. Impassioned  appeals  would  be  superseded,  and  every  call 
of  charity  would  meet  a  ready  response.  Every  one  would  lay 
by  him  in  store  as  God  had  prospered  him,  and  rejoice  in  an  op- 
portunity to  exercise  his  benevolence.  The  treasury  of  the  Lord 
would  be  full  to  overflowing.  As  it  was  in  the  work  of  the  sanc- 
tuary in  the  time  of  Moses,  the  free  offerings  of  the  people  were 
so  abundant,  that  they  were  requested  to  desist  from  bringing 
any  more.  And  if  the  welfare  of  the  church  lies  near  our  heart, 
if  we  prefer  her  above  our  chief  joy,  we  shall  feel  that  no  sacri- 
fice is  too  great  to  aid  in  her  enlargement.  The  silver  and  the 
gold  will  be  viewed  as  sustaining  no  assignable  relation  to  the 
importance  of  such  an  object ;  and  the  true  dignity  of  property 
will  be  understood  to  consist  in  consecrating  it  to  the  service  of 
Christ.  And  under  the  influence  of  such  a  spirit  we  should  be 
prepared  for  any  Avork  which  the  good  of  the  church  might  de- 
mand. Our  efforts  in  her  behalf  would  be  the  legitimate  result 
of  the  power  of  the  truth.  It  was  so  with  the  prophets  and  the 
apostles.  They  believed  and  therefore  spake.  Their  hearts 
were  full  of  their  subject,  and  out  of  the  abundance  of  the  heart 
they  gave  utterance  to  their  feelings.  And  the  principle  which 
is  here  involved  has  always  obtained,  and  must  ever  produce  the 
same  effects.  It  is  a  deep  interest  in  the  kingdom  of  Christ,  an 
engrossing  desire  for  the  welfare  of  the  church,  that  impels  her 
friends  to  labor  most  effectually  for  her  advancement.  It  is 
when  we  feel  most  sensibly  the  power  of  the  truth  ourselves, 
that  we  are  best  prepared  to  go  forth  and  proclaim  that  truth  to 


love  to  mi:  cmmcH.  i 1 

others.  Extinguish  or  abate  tins  sympathy,  and  the  right  arm 
of  our  strength  is  palsied.  In  such  condition  our  influence  and 
our  efforts  would  tell  but  feebly  on  the  interests  of  Zion.  Let 
ours,  then,  be  the  prayer  of  the  once  trembling  disciples,  "  Lord 
increase  our  faith."  And  among  all  other  interests,  which  gath- 
er around  our  hearts  and  gain  our  affections,  let  love  for  the 
church  of  God  have  the  ascendency.  Let  us  prefer  her  above 
our  chief  joy.  And  moved  by  such  incentive,  our  efforts  for  the 
enlargement  of  Zion  and  the  extension  of  the  gospel  of  the  king- 
dom will  be  effective.  God,  even  our  own  God,  will  bless  us. 
The  resources  and  means  of  our  Missionary  Society  will  be  aug- 
mented to  the  full  supply  of  the  urgent  necessities  of  its  broad 
field  of  operation.  And  in  connection  with  our  instrumentality, 
many  a  child  of  God  who,  in  exile  from  Christian  privileges,  has 
wept  when  he  remembered  Zion,  shall  break  forth  into  joy  and 
sing,  "  How  beautiful  upon  the  mountains  are  the  feet  of  him 
that  bringeth  good  tidings,  that  publisheth  peace  ;  that  bringeth 
good  tidings  of  good;  that  saith  unto  Zion,  Thy  God  reigneth." 
And  many  a  wandering  sinner  shall  be  induced  to  return  to  the 
Great  Shepherd  and  Bishop  of  souls.  May  this  Society  go  on 
with  renewed  energy  in  its  work  of  mercy,  and  may  all  its  pat- 
rons afford  it  a  strong  hand  of  support.  In  the  day  of  final  ac- 
count the  Great  Head  of  the  church  will  appreciate  and  recog- 
nize such  labors,  imperfect  and  humble  though  they  be,  to  your 
infinite  advantage.  He  will  graciously  say  to  all  those,  who, 
from  the  good  treasure  of  a  good  heart,  have  contributed  to  the 
furtherance  of  this  cause  :  "I  was  an  hungered  and  ye  gave  me 
meat ;  I  was  thirsty,  and  ye  gave  me  drink ;  I  was  a  stranger, 
and  ye  took  me  in ;  I  was  naked,  and  ye  clothed  me;  I  was 
sick,  and  ye  visited  me  ;  I  was  in  prison,  and  ye  came  unto  me. 
For  inasmuch  as  ye  did  it  to  the  least  of  these  my  brethren,  ye 
did  it  unto  me." 

Finally.  The  subject  which  we  have  considered  suggests 
the  inquiry, — What  is  our  personal  relation  to  the  church  of 
Christ,  and  to  the  cause  which  looks  to  her  enlargement  ? 


8  LOVE   TO    THE   CHURCH. 

We  have  seen  that  the  church  embodies  the  sanctified  from 
among  men ;  that  she  is  the  great  medium  of  illustrating  the 
perfections  of  God  ;  and  that  she  exerts,  and  is  destined  to  ex- 
ert, an  important  and  happy  influence  upon  the  world.  And  on 
these  accounts  she  commands  the  love  of  all  good  men.  In  their 
estimation  her  ordinances  and  privileges  are  precious,  and  the 
cause  which  aims  at  her  advancement  receives  their  hearty  co- 
operation. It  is,  then,  an  important  inquiry  with  which  we  have 
each  a  deep  personal  concern, — "What  is  our  relation  to  the 
church  of  Christ  ?  Are  our  sympathies,  and  hopes,  and  joys 
with  her  ?  Is  her  enlargement  the  object  of  our  warm  desire, 
our  earnest  prayer  and  liberal  contribution  ?  Then  may  ours  be 
the  consoling  assurance,  that  we  are  the  children  of  the  Highest, 
and  that  our  names  are  written  in  the  Lamb's  book  of  life. 

On  the  contrary :  Is  our  chief  interest  separate  and  apart 
from  the  church  of  Christ  ?  Have  we  no  heart  to  mourn  when 
Zion  mourns,  or  to  exult  in  her  prosperity  ?  And  in  view  of  her 
depressions  and  exigencies,  can  we  restrain  prayer  before  God, 
and  withhold  the  aid  she  craves  ?  With  the  apostle  we  would 
inquire,  "  Despise  ye  the  church  of  God  ? "  Let  such  under- 
stand, that  they  are  "  aliens  from  the  commonwealth  of  Israel, 
and  strangers  from  the  covenants  of  promise,  having  no  hope, 
and  without  God  in  the  world."  And  let  them  be  entreated  to 
cast  in  their  lot  with  the  church  of  Christ,  and  become  her  fast 
and  ardent  friends.  For  they,  and  they  only  shall  prosper  who 
love  her.  "  We  are  journeying  unto  the  place  of  which  the  Lord 
hath  said,  I  will  give  it  you :  come  thou  with  us,  and  we  will  do 
thee  good ;  for  the  Lord  hath  spoken  good  concerning  Israel/*

TRUSTEES  OF  THE  MAINE  MISSIONARY  SOCIETY, 

AT  Til  EI  R 

FORTY-FIRST  ANNUAL  MEETING:  IN  BANGOR,  JUNE  2S,  1848. 


This  Society  has  been  in  operation  forty-one  years.  Great 
changes  have  been  witnessed  during  this  period ; — changes  in 
the  institution  itself;  in  its  field  of  labor;  and  in  the  condition 
of  the  world.  In  the  commencement  of  its  efforts,  this  Society 
embraced  less  than  forty  members ;  it  now  numbers  its  thou- 
sands. Then,  there  were  about  seventy  congregational  churches 
in  the  State,  now,  there  are  more  than  two  hundred,  the  greater 
portion  of  which  have  been  planted  or  nurtured  by  this  instru- 
mentality, from  the  free-will  offerings  of  the  Christian  commu- 
nity. At  that  time,  its  operations  were  restricted  to  a  very  lim- 
ited section  of  our  territory ;  now,  it  has  a  broad  theatre  of 
action,  extending  from  the  Piscataqua  to  the  north  eastern  boun- 
dary, and  from  the  sea-coast  to  the  western  limit,  including  from 
thirty  to  forty  thousand  square  miles.  At  that  time,  too,  there 
were  comparatively  few  facilities  to  expedite  labor.  It  cost 
much  fatigue,  and  consumed  much  time,  to  reach  a  distant  field 
of  operation,  even  in  our  own  country  ;  much  more  abroad  in  the 
earth ;  now,  the  most  distant  points  of  the  world  are  brought 
together.  Time  and  space  are  almost  aimihilated  ;  and  what  is 
done,  is  done  quickly. 

But  the  object  more  especially  of  the  present  meeting  is,  to 
trace  the  operations  and  results  of  the  year  now  closing,  and 
mutually  to  encourage  each  other's  hearts  and  strengthen  each 
other's  hands,  to  give  a  new  impulse  to  the  cause,  and  secure  to 
it  an  onward  course  in  coming  time. 

ALPHABETICAL  LIST  OF  MISSIONARIES. 

Rev.   Gilman  Bacheller,  Jonesborough,  1  3-4  months. 

Mr.  Bacheller  is  pastor  of  the  church  in  Machias  Port,  but 
spends  a  portion  of  his  time  with  the  church  at  Joncsboro'.  It 
is  a  feeble  establishment,  and  will  need  continuance  of  aid.  "  A 
gradual  increase  in  the  number  of  hearers." 

Mr.  A.  J.  Bates,  Lincoln,  9  months. 


20  REPORT  OP  THE  TRUSTEES  OF  THE 

This  is  an  important  stand  ;  but  as  yet  a  feeble  establishment. 
Mr.  Bates  writes  :  "  We  cannot  report  a  revival  of  religion  ;  but 
there  is  much  here  to  encourage  one  to  labor,  amid  all  his  trials 
and  misgivings.  There  has  been  a  large  increase  of  attendants 
on  the  preaching  of  the  gospel,  and  a  marked  attention  in  the 
congregation.  The  church  now  numbers  28  members ;  four 
having  joined  the  last  year  ;  1  by  profession  and  3  by  letter.  A 
good  degree  of  harmony  prevails  in  the  church  ;  and  an  increas- 
ing union  between  the  churches  of  different  denominations  in  the 
place." 

Rev.  Mighill  Blood,  Matinicus  and  adjoining  islands,  2  1-2 
months  v 

The  services  of  Mr.  Blood  were  very  acceptable.  There  is 
no  church,  and  few  professors  of  religion ;  but  too  many  inhabit- 
ants to  be  left  destitute  of  the  stated  ordinances  of  worship. 

Mr.  George  Bowman,  Windsor  and  Fairfield,  with  their 
vicinities,  3  months. 

Mr.  Bowman  supplied  at  Windsor,  Jefferson,  Washington, 
Fairfield  and  Sebasticook.  These  are  all  feeble  churches,  and 
will  need  aid  in  settling  the  ministry. 

Rev.  Samuel  Bowker,  Union,  3  1-2  months. 

Mr.  William  M.  Boyd,  Skowhegan,  and  South  Solon,  1  1-2 
months. 

Mr.  Boyd  is  succeeded  in  his  labors  in  this  place  by  Rev. 
Alpha  Morton. 

Rev.  Isaac  Carleton,  Oxford,  4  months. 

This  church  has  been  weakened  by  deaths  and  removals,  and 
will  need  continued  aid  to  secure  the  stated  ordinances  of  wor- 
ship. Mr.  Carleton  has  been  taken  off  from  his  labors  a  portion 
of  the  last  year,  by  sickness,  but  has  now  so  far  recovered,  as  to 
resume  his  services.     "  Three  added  to  the  church  by  letter." 

Rev.  B.  G.  Carpenter,  Dexter,  4  1-2  months. 

Mr.  Carpenter  writes,  under  date  of  4th  inst :  "  Since  my 
last  report,  God  has  granted  us  "  a  little  reviving  in  our  bond- 
age.' Our  meetings,  and  the  meetings  of  other  denominations, 
have  been  marked  by  unusual  order  and  stillness.  The  opera- 
tions of  the  Spirit,  so  far  as  we  have  shared  in  them,  have  been 
gentle  and  silent  as  the  distilling  dew :  yet  leaving  the  most  dis- 
tinctive evidence  of  renewing  poiver.  About  twenty,  in  the 
different  evangelical  societies,  have  been  hopefully  converted. 
The  people  of  God  generally  have  received  a  holy  impulse, 
which  has  greatly  encouraged  them  in  their  work.  Seven  indi- 
viduals have  recently  united  with  the  congregational  church, 


MAINE   MISSIONARY    SOCIETY.  21 

and  several  others  are  expected  to  unite  with  us  at  our  next 
communion." 

Rev.  Elias  Chapman,  Newfield,  1  3-4  months. 

There  have  been  no  additions  to  the  church  during  the  year 
past,  and  the  state  of  religion  is  low.  Mr.  Chapman  states, 
however,  in  his  Report :  "  There  is  no  decrease  of  interest  in 
sustaining  the  institutions  of  religion,  but  on  the  contrary,  a  feel- 
ing that  we  must  keep  up  the  form,  and  pray  for  the  power.  The 
ability  of  the  people,  it  is  hoped,  is  rather  increasing ;  and  I 
think,  with  the  blessing  of  God,  they  will  in  a  few  years  be  able 
to  sustain  the  gospel  themselves." 

Rev.  Sumner  Clark,   Unity,  4  1-2  months. 

Mr.  T.  W.  Clark,  Phillips  and  vicinity,  5  months. 

Labors  at  this  stand  have  proved  very  acceptable  ;  and  efforts 
are  being  made,  which,  it  is  thought,  will  be  successfid  in  open- 
ing the  way  for  Mr.  Clark  to  take  the  pastoral  charge  of  the 
church  in  Phillips  ;  spending  a  portion  of  his  time  as  a  mission- 
ary in  the  surrounding  region. 

Rev.  Dana  Clayes,  Industry,  Mercer  and  Starts,  12  mos. 

Mr.  Clayes  has  supplied  in  the  above  places  during  the  past 
year,  sustained  in  part  by  the  contributions  of  the  people.  No 
material  changes,  except  in  the  provision  for  religious  reading. 
The  report  of  Mr.  Clayes  states  :  "  There  have  been  introduced 
into  this  field,  during  the  year,  10  sets  of  the  Christian  Library, 
each  containing  45  volumes,  and  circulating  in  40  families  ;  82 
volumes  of  Commentaries  on  the  Scriptures,  chiefly  Scott's ;  100 
volumes  of  the  Missionary  Herald  ;  400  volumes  added  to  the 
Sabbath  School  libraries ;  7  additional  subscribers  to  the  Chris- 
tian Mirror  ;  a  goodly  number  of  the  Dayspring  ;  together  with 
a  great  quantity  of  small  books  and  tracts  for  children  and 
youth." 

Rev.  Nathan  Cobb,  Dedham,  2  1-2  months. 

Mr.  Cobb  left  this  stand,  in  the  early  part  of  the  missionary 
year,  to  act  as  a  colporteur,  in  different  parts  of  the  State. 

Rev.   Albert  Cole,  Winslow,  3  1-2  months. 

"  No  material  changes  in  the  year.  Our  congregation  is  as 
large  as  it  has  been,  perhaps  a  little  larger.  One  deceased, 
one  dismissed,  and  two  or  three  hopeful  converts." 

Rev.  J.  H.  Conant,   Chesterville  and  Fayette,  4  months. 

Mr.  Conant  has  spent  six  weeks  of  his  mission  within  the  lim- 
its of  the  Aroostook  Conference. 

Rev.  A.  J.  Copeland,  Aroostook  region,  1  month. 

Mr.  Copeland  had  an  appointment  in  the  Aroostook,  for  the

year ;  but  soon  left  that  field  for  the  West,  and  has  been  suc- 
ceeded in  his  field  of  labor,  by  Rev.  Rufus  W.  Emerson. 

Rev.  David  Cushman,  Bremen,  3  months. 

Mr.  Cushman  writes  :  "  While  we  bless  God,  as  the  author 
of  all  our  good,  we  should  not  forget  our  obligations  to  the  Mis- 
sionary Society,  by  whose  aid  we  have  been  raised  up  from  our 
low  estate,  so  as  to  be  able  to  sustain  ourselves  in  time  to  come." 

Mr.  H.  C.  Daniels,  Kennebunkport,  2  1-2  months. 

'Rev.  William  Davenport,  Strong  and  vicinity,  12  months. 

Mr.  Davenport's  mission  extends  on  to  August.  His  labors 
are  three  fourths  of  the  time  at  Strong,  and  one  fourth  at  Sa- 
lem. Present  appearances  are  represented  as  giving  promise  of 
a  permanent  settlement  of  the  ministry  in  these  places. 

Rev.  Timothy  Davis,  Litchfield,  1  3-4  months. 

"  There  are  some  indications  of  a  better  state  of  spiritual  feel- 
ing in  the  church.  Some  are  praying  for  a  revival,  with  a  good 
measure  of  confident  expectation.  The  Sabbath  School  has 
been  increased  this  spring,  and  a  new  library  has  been  obtained." 

Rev.  John  Dodd,  Turner,   2  1-2  months. 

This  is  the  first  year  of  Mr.  Dodd's  labors  in  Turner.  They 
have  witnessed  some  tokens  for  good.  His  report,  under  date 
of  16th  ultimo,  states :  "The  Society  here  are  doing  much 
more  than  usual  this  year.  They  raise  one  hundred  dollars 
more  for  the  support  of  the  gospel,  than  they  did  the  previous 
year ;  and  besides  are  building  a  parsonage  house,  which  will 
cost  them  about  eight  hundred  dollars.  A  little  aid  now,  we 
hope,  will  place  them  on  a  footing  where  they  will  be  able  to 
stand  alone.  There  has  been  a  gradual  increase  in  the  congre- 
gation on  the  Sabbath.  The  religious  interest  also  has  gradu- 
ally increased ;  and  for  the  last  two  months  our  hearts  have 
been  gladdened  from  time  to  time  with  the  hopeful  conversion 
of  souls.  A  general  solemnity  pervades  the  congregation,  and 
quite  a  number  are  seriously  impressed,  who  have  not  yet  ob- 
tained hope.  Some  nine  or  ten  give  evidence  of  a  change  of 
heart.  There  seems  at  present  to  be  no  abatement  of  interest. 
There  has  been  little  excitement,  and  no  unusual  methods  of  op- 
eration adopted.  It  has  pleased  God  to  work  by  the  ordinary 
means  of  grace." 

Rev.  S.  S.  Drake,  Exeter,  1  month. 

Mr.  Drake  had  an  appointment  for  the  year,  at  Exeter  and 
Levant,  but  after  spending  4  Aveeks,  at  the  former  place,  remov- 
ed and  took  charge  of  the  first  parish  in  Biddeford. 

Rev.  Joshua  Eaton,  Aroostook  region,  12  months. 


MAINE   MISSIONARY   SOCIETY.  2-3 

Mr.  Eaton  has  spent  his  year  chiefly  at  Passadtimkeag,  Bur- 
lington, Lee,  Springfield  and  Carroll.  This  embraces  three 
churches,  and  five  places  of  worship.  This  field  is  in  the  cast 
part  of  Penobscot  County,  but  within  the  limits  of  the  Aroos- 
took Conference.  Of  the  church  in  Lee,  Springfield  and  Car- 
roll, Mr.  Eaton  writes  :  "  We  have  the  prospect  of  some  additions 
soon,  and  there  is  increasing  attendance  upon  public  worship. 
But  the  means  of  supporting-  the  gospel  in  this  region,  if  it  is 
supported,  must  come  chiefly  from  abroad.  The  door  seems 
to  open  wider  and  still  wider,  inviting  the  laborer  to  enter  the 
field  and  work." 

Rev.  Manning  Ellis,  Brooksville,  1  3-4  months. 
Mr.  _  Ellis  has  the  charge  of  two  churches  in  this  town ;  but 
they  will  need  aid  in  sustaining  the  institutions  of  religion. 
Mr.  R.  W.  Emerson,  Aroostook  County,  12  months. 
Mr.  Emerson  has  occupied  a  wide  field,  in  the  eastern  part 
of  the  county,  in  the  vicinity  of  Houlton,  embracing  Hodgdon, 
Monticello,  Portland  and  Bridgewater  plantations,  with  an  ex- 
tensive  adjoining  region.     In  the  two  first  named  places  there 
are  churches.     Mr.  Emerson  writes,  "  Here  truly  the  harvest 
is  great,  but  the  laborers  are  few.     Society  is  hi  a  forming 
state,  and  efforts  here  at  this  critical  period  are  of  immense 
value.  ^  They  will  tell  upon  the  temporal  and  spiritual  interests 
of  coming  generations." 
Rev.  S.  B.  Fay,  Dixfield,  3  months. 
Rev.  Jonas  Fisk,  Lisbon,  3  1-2  months. 
This  is  one  of  the  feebler  churches,  "  Faint,  yet  pursuing." 
Rev.  Ephraim  Fobes,  Patten,  2  months. 
Patten  is  among  the  feeble  churches,  and  must  have  continu- 
ance of  aid,  if  it  is  to  live  and  prosper. 

Rev.  John  P.  Foster,  Sweden,  3  1-2  months. 
Mr.  Foster  has  lately  commenced  his  labors  in  this  place, 
and  was  installed  to  the  pastoral  care  of  the  church  on  the  9th 
instant. 
Mr.  David  Garland,  Sweden,  4  months. 
Mr.  Garland  has  removed  from  this  stand. 
Rev.  John  H.  Garman,  Limington,  4  1-2  months. 
Mr.  Garman's  report  states  :  "  We  have  for  some  time  past, 
thought  we  could  see  indications  of  the  presence  of  God  with 
us  :  but  as  yet  the  cloud  has  not  given  us  much  rain.     As  the 
general  interest  seems  to  continue,  we  still  hope.    Two  have 
united  with  the  church,  one  by  profession  and  one  by  letter." 
Rev.  Joshua  S.  Gay,  Andover,  4  months. 


24  REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES  OP  THE 

Mr.  Gay  was  ordained  as  pastor  of  this  church,  in  January 
last.     His  missionary  year  is  not  yet  closed. 

Rev.  David  Gerry,  Brownfield,  Hiram  and  Denmark,  4  1-2 
months. 

Rev.  Stephen  Gould,  Poland,  3  1-2  months. 

The  people  here  have  applied  for  only  half  the  amount  of  aid, 
for  the  coming  year,  that  they  have  been  in  the  habit  of  re- 
ceiving, in  years  past.  This  is  a  token  for  good.  Would  that 
many  other  churches  might  follow  the  example. 

Rev.  E.  Hale,  Piscataquis  county,  12  months. 

Mr.  Hale  has  charge  of  the  churches  in  the  County,  other- 
wise unsupplied ;  and  is  sustained  in  part  by  their  contributions. 

Mr.  Ansel  D.  Harris,  Dedham,  1 1-2  months. 

Mr.  Harris,  in  his  report,  states  : — "  Though  not  enjoying 
a  special  revival  of  religion,  the  people  here  are  well  united,  and 
manifest  a  good  degree  of  interest  in  the  preaching  of  the  gos- 
pel and  other  means  of  grace.  The  Sabbath  School  is  com- 
posed of  old  and  young,  embracing  nearly  the  entire  congre- 
gation, and  is  in  a  flourishing  state." 

Rev.  L.  W.  Harris,  North  Bridgton,  1  8-4  months. 

Rev.  S.  H.  Hayes,  Frankfort,  3  1-2  months. 

"  On  the  first  Sabbath  in  January,  six  united  with  the 
church  ;  five  by  profession  and  one  by  letter." 

Rev.  Israel  Hills,  Dixmont  and  Plymouth,  3  months. 

Mr.  Hills  divides  his  time  equally,  between  those  two  towns. 
His  labors  have  been  continued  through  the  year. 

Rev.  Morris  Holman,  2d  church,  York,  3  months. 

"  One  added  to  the  church.  A  parsonage  being  built,  and 
the  prospects  somewhat  brightening." 

Mr.  Wm.  L.  Hyde,  Levant,  1  month. 

Rev.  Horatio  Ilsley,  Abbot  and  Monson,  3  1-2  months. 

Mr.  Ilsley  writes  : — "  In  Monson,  I  am  happy  to  be  able  to 
report  that  the  word  of  the  Lord  has  had  free  course  and  is 
glorified.  During  the  latter  part  of  the  autumn,  there  were  indi- 
cations of  a  return  to  a  better  state  of  things.  On  the  first 
Sabbath  in  January,  some  few  were  awakened  to  a  deep  solic- 
itude, and  led  to  inquire  :  "  Men  and  brethren,  what  shall  we 
do  ?"  The  day  following,  which  was  the  first  Monday  in  the 
year,  the  church  observed  as  a  season  of  fasting  and  prayer. 
The  Holy  Spirit  was  manifestly  present,  exciting  a  general  and 
absorbing  interest.  Confessions  were  made  to  God  and  each 
other ;  and  every  heart  was  melted,  and  every  eye  suffused  with 
tears.     From  that  time  the  interest  increased  in  the  church  and 


MAINE   MISSIONARI    BOCIETY.  25 

among  the  impenitent.  Inquiry  meetings  were  instituted,  which 
were  the  only  extraordinary  means  used.  Soon  one  and  another 
began  to  entertain  hope  in  Christ,  and  their  sorrows  were  changed 
into  songs  of  deliverance.  As  the  result  of  the  work  thus  far, 
twenty  indulge  hope  that  they  have  passed  from  death  nnto 
life.  These  are  all  from  among  the  youth,  none  being  over 
twenty-one  years  of  age.  As  the  first-fruits  of  this  work,  fifteen 
were  gathered  into  the  church,  on  the  first  Sabbath  of  last 
month.  "The  Lord  hath  done  great  things  for  us  whereof  we 
are  glad." 

Mr.  W.  L.  James,  Turner,  1  month. 

Mr.  James  has  removed  from  this  stand,  and  has  been  suc- 
ceeded by  Rev.  Mr.  Dodd. 

Rev.  M.  R.  Keep,  Fort  Kent  and  vicinity,  12  months. 

Mr.  Keep  has  a  wide  field  in  this  region,  and  has  cultivated 
it  with  great  diligence,  and  with  as  much  success  as  could  be  look- 
ed for,  from  one  laborer  hi  a  great  waste  territory.  He  designs 
making  No.  11,  Aroostook,  his  residence  the  coming  year,  op- 
erating there,  and  extensively  in  the  vicinity. 

Rev.  Daniel  Kendrick,  Hebron  and  West  Minot,  2  months. 

Rev.  Reuben  Kimball,  Kittery,  3  1-2  months. 

This  is  the  first  church  organized  in  the  State.  It  had  be- 
come almost  extinct ;  but  by  aid  from  abroad,  it  has  of  late 
years  revived,  and  its  prospects  at  present  are  brightening. 
k'  Meetinghouse  remodelled,  and  parsonage  now  building."

year,  under  promising  auspices. 

Rev.  Stephen  Merrill,  Acton,  3 1-2  months. 

Mr.  Merrill  writes  :  "  Though  there  has  been  no  revival  of 
religion,  the  year  past  has  been  a  year  of  advance.  Congrega- 
tion has  increased.  Monthly  concert  instituted,  never  before  ob- 
served. Temperance  Society  formed,  about  100  members. 
Parsonage  built.  One  case  of  hopeful  conversion,  and  one  add- 
ed to  the  church  by  profession." 

Rev.  Samuel  H.  Merrill,  Old  Town,  5  months.

26  REPORT  OP  THE  TRUSTEES  OP  THE 

Mr.  Merrill  has  been  installed  over  this  church  during  the 
year  past. 

"  Four  added  to  the  church ;  three  by  profession,  and  one 
by  letter.  The  number  of  constant  worshippers  is  slowly  but 
steadily  increasing." 

Rev.  J.  G.  Merrill,  Fort  Fairfield  and  vicinity,  12  months. 
Under  date  of  4th  Novem.  last,  Mr.  Merrill  reports  the  la- 
bors of  5  months,  giving  some  account  of  his  course  as  a  mis- 
sionary at  the  Aroostook.  "  I  have  exchanged  my  lodgings  ev- 
ery night,  except  ten,  during  the  five  months  ;  have  ridden  360 
miles  ;  passed  in  pirogues,  (log  canoes,)  15  miles  ;  walked  670 
miles  ;  made  550  family  visits  ;  preached  85  times  ;  administer- 
ed baptism  to  3  children ;  administered  the  Lord's  Supper 
twice  ;  given  two  temperance  lectures  ;  visited  and  addressed  3 
Sabbath  schools,  and  3  week-day  schools ;  attended  6  confer- 
ences ;  and  admitted  two  individuals  to  church-fellowship,  one  at 
No.  13  in  the  third  range,  and  one  at  letter  D  in  the  first  range. 

There  is  evidence  of  an  increased  and  increasing  desire  for  an 
enlightened  and  enlightening  ministry.  Individuals  not  a  few, 
who  three  years  since  manifested  an  indifference  on  this  subject, 
now  freely  express  their  conviction  of  its  importance.  There  is 
evidence  of  increased  prayerfulness  in  the  church  and  others,  in 
No.  13  of  the  3d  range.  Several  cases  of  hopeful  conversion,  in 
that  region,  have  occurred  within  a  few  months  past ;  and  the 
attention  still  continues." 

Rev.  Enos  Merrill,  Mechanic  Falls,  3  1-2  months. 
Rev.  Alfred  Morse,  Lubec  and  Whiting,  2  1-2  months. 

Mr.  Morse  has  left  this  stand,  and  is  now  supplying  at  Pem- 
broke and  Cooper. 

Rev.  Alpha  Morton,  Temple,  Skowhegan  and  South  Solon,

Mr.  Morton  supplied  at  Temple,  the  first  half  of  the  mission- 
ary year ;  and  since  then  has  been  laboring  with  the  churches 
in  Skowhegan  and  South  Solon. 

Mr.  Francis  Muzzy,  Dixfield,  1 1-2  months.

abroad,  if  they  enjoy  the  stated  means  of  grace.

Rev.  John  A.  Perry,  Orono,  3  1-2  months 

Mr.  Perry,  in  a  communication  under  date  of  May  19,  states  : 
"  Since  my  last  report,  God  has  been  with  us  in  very  deed.  1 
am  happy  in  being  able  to  state,  that  more  than  twenty  cases  of 
hopeful  conversion  have  occurred  in  the  little  society  with  which 
I  am  laboring.  As  early  as  the  month  of  January,  appearances 
indicated  that  God  was  about  to  visit  us  in  mercy ;  and  these 
appearances  were  not  deceptive.  The  Spirit  came  down  upon 
us  in  great  power,  entering  our  Sabbath  school,  and  awakening 
many  souls  to  the  consideration  "  of  the  one  thing  needful."  So 
far  the  converts  appear  well ;  and  seventeen  have  been  examined 
for  admission  into  the  church.  All  the  individuals  that  have 
indulged  hope  are  members  of  the  Sabbath  school ;  and  all  are 
between  twelve  and  twenty  years  of  age.  So  far,  therefore,  as 
the  support  of  the  gospel  is  concerned,  this  revival  looks  to  the 
future.  It  is  prospective  ;  and  there  is  great  encouragement, 
from  the  character  and  influence  of  these  youth,  that,  at  no  very 
distant  day,  they  will  stand  up  in  support  and  defence  of  the 
gospel.  In  view  of  what  has  been  wrought  among  us,  we  are 
constrained  to  say :  "  Not  unto  us,  0  Lord,  not  unto  us,  but  unto 
thy  name  give  glory,  for  thy  mercy  and  thy  truth's  sake." 

Rev.  William  Pierce,  Lyman,  2  1-4  months. 

Mr.  H.  Pratt,  St.  Albans,  1  month. 
Rev.  Wm.  W.  RaxND,  Standish,  3  1-2  months. 
Mr.  Rand  has  left  this  church,  and  taken  "  an  office  in  the 
Tract  House,  New  York,  as  assistant  to  the  Secretaries."  He 
writes,  under  date  of  13th  June  : — "  Though  I  am  not  so  happy 
as  to  be  permitted  to  report  any  accessions  to  the  church  in 
Standish,  yet  the  parish  are  in  a  better  state  now  at  the  close  of 
the  missionary  year,  than  at  its  commencement ;  feeling  stronger 
in  numbers,  influence,  and  general  hopefulness.  I  cannot  but 
feel  that  not  a  few  of  the  congregation,  during  the  year,  have  felt 
the  power  of  the  Divine  Spirit,  and  that  some  are  not  far  from 
the  kingdom  of  God." 

Rev.  Henry  Richardson,  Gilead,  2  months. 
Mr.  Richardson  supplies  Gilead,  and  the  adjoining  church  of 
Shelburne,  in  New  Hampshire. 


28  REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES  OF  THE 

Rev.  William  T.  Savage,  Houlton,  6  months. 

Mr.  Savage  writes,  under  date  of  29th  of  May  last :  "  At  the 
commencement  of  this  missionary  year,  the  church  in  this  place 
was  reaping  the  fruits  of  an  interesting  revival  of  religion,  with 
which  it  was  favored,  the  year  preceding.  Fourteen  were  added 
to  the  church.  This  accession  is  regarded  as  a  monument 
erected  to  the  praise  of  a  faithful  and  covenant-keeping  God ; 
and  it  has  been  a  great  support  to  our  hands  and  our  faith,  hi  the 
frequent  removals  from  us  which  have  since  occurred.  " 

Rev.  John  Sawyer,  Penobscot  County,  1  month. 

Rev.  Jotham  Sewall,  Franklin  County,  3  months. 

Rev.  Wm.  S.  Sewall,  Milo,  Sebec  and  vicinity,  3  months. 

Rev.  N.  W.  Sheldon,  Vassalborough  and  Sidnev,  2 1-2  mos. 

Mr.  C.  B.  Smith,  Weld,  2  1-2  months. 

Rev.  Francis  P.  Smith,  Waldo  Co.,  1  month. 

Rev.  Thomas  Smith,  Orrington,  2 1-2  months. 

"  One  hopeful  convert  in  the  Sabbath  School  ;  and  other 
members  of  the  School  manifest  a  seriousness  which  gives  prom- 
ise of  good." 

Rev.  Joseph  Smith,  Wilton  and  Jay,  2  1-2  months. 

Rev.  Samuel  Souther,  North  Belfast,  5  months. 

Rev.  John  H.  Stratton,  Pittston,  3  1-2  months. 

Rev.  Samuel  Talbot,  Alna,  3  1-2  months. 

No  material  changes  here,  except  in  the  increasing  self-denial 
and  efforts  of  the  people  to  sustain  the  gospel  themselves,  which 
is  seen  in  their  asking  but  half  the  amount  of  aid,  appropriated 
the  past  year.  Such  a  movement  is  a  most  encouraging  feature 
in  missionary  operations.  The  gradual  diminution  of  the  sum 
appropriated,  to  any  particular  place  looks  like  winding  up  the 
concern.     The  example  is  worth  more  than  the  money. 

Rev.  Daniel  D.  Tappan,  North  Augusta,  1  month. 

Mr.  Tappan  spent  only  two  weeks  in  this  place,  and  then  re- 
turned to  Massachusetts. 

Rev.  G.  F.  Tewksbury,  Albany,  3  1-2  months. 

Mr.  P.  B.  Thayer,  Garland  and  Exeter,  4  months. 

Rev.  R.  B.  Thurston,  Waterville,  6  months. 

Rev.  David  Turner,  New  Vineyard  and  Kingfield,  2  mos. 

Rev.  Sidney  Turner,  Bingham,  Solon  Village  and  vicinity, 
4  months. 

Mr.  Turner  spends  a  portion  of  his  time,  in  the  region  of  the 
Forks  of  the  Kennebec  ;  "  a  promising  field  for  missionary  la- 
bor." In  Bingham,  "  prospects  more  encouraging  than  they 
were  a  year  ago.  Meetings  very  well  attended."

.  [saac  Weston,  Frankfort  Mills,  2  months. 

There  is  no  church  in  this  place,  and  no  meeting  house  ;  but 
they  have  for  some  years  been  supplied  with  preaching  one 
fourth  of  the  time,  by  the  pastor  of  the  church  in  the  principal 
village  in  the  town. 

Mr.  J.  B.  WHEELWRIGHT,  Northfield.  2  1-2  months. 

Mr.  Wheelwright  is  a  stated  supply  at  Whitneyville,  spending 
with  the  church  in  that  place  three-fourths  of  his  time,  and  the 
residue  of  his  labors  are  at  Northfield.  Neither  of  these  church- 
es have  sufficient  means  to  sustain  the  gospel,  for  the  whole  time. 

Rev.  Henry  White.  Bradford  and  vicinity,  3  1-2  months. 

Mr.  AN mite  spends  half  his  time  at  Bradford,  where  a  small 
church  is  established,  and  the  people,  with  some  assistance  from 
abroad,  have  succeeded  in  providing  for  themselves  a  house  of 
worship.  The  other  half  of  his  time  is  devoted  to  the  wastes  in 
the  region.  "  One  added  to  the  church  during  the  year,  mak- 
ing the  number  twenty." 

Rev.  LrniER  Wiswall,  Jackson  and  Brooks,  2  1-2  months. 

This  church,  though  embracing  two  towns  has  not  sufficient 
strength  to  sustain  its  own  ordinances  of  worship.  A  good  dis- 
position has  been  manifested,  to  contribute  according  to  their 
al  olity.  "  Somewhat  more  attention  to  religion  than  usual.  Two 
hopeful  converts." 

GENERAL  RESULTS. 

Though  the  year  past  cannot,  by  way  of  eminence,  be  de- 
nominated "  a  year  of  the  right  hand  of  the  Most  High  ;"_  yet 
neither  is  it  so  barren  of  joyful  incident,  or  presenting  so  bhght- 
ing  an  aspect,  as  the  vear  preceding  it,  or  indeed  several  years 
preceding.     In  some  few  places  in  the  wide  range  of  missionary 
effort,  the  people  have  had  occasion  for  devout  gratitude  to  God, 
in  seeing  clouds  of  mercy  overshadow  them,  and  in  witnessing 
the  sprinklings  of  divine  grace.     These  portions  of  the  heritage 
are  like  Oases  in  the  desert,  the  freshness  and  verdure  height- 
ened by  contrast  with  the  barrenness  of  the  surrounding  regions. 
The  hopeful  converts  reported  are  about  120,  chiefly  children 
and  youth.     The  number  of  missionaries  in  the  employment  ol 
the  Society,  during  the  year  past,  (the  whole  of  the  time   or  a 
portion  of 'the  time,)  is  94  ;  a  little  advance  upon  the  number  ot 
the  vear  preceding,  but  more  in  the  amount  of  labor;  it  being 
equal  in  the  aggregate  to  thirty-six  years  ;  one-tenth  beyond  that 
of  the  previous  year.     The  number   gathered  into  the  fold  ot 
Christ  from  the  world,  may  be  deemed  small,  and  indeed  is  so, 


30  REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES  OP  THE 

compared  with  the  wide  field  that  is  cultivated,  and  the  number 
of  laborers  that  have  entered  into  the  harvest ;  but  the  result, 
nevertheless,  is  in  value,  beyond  all  computation.  And  besides, 
the  conversion  of  sinners,  though  a  prominent  object  and  of  par- 
amount importance,  is  not  the  only  good  result  of  missionary  la- 
bor. It  gives  a  healthful  influence  and  contributes  salutary  aid 
to  every  other  laudable  enterprise  ;  literary,  moral,  or  religious. 
Let  the  preaching  of  the  gospel  be  suspended,  among  the  des- 
titute, and  what  would  be  the  condition  of  Sabbath  Schools  and 
Bible  Classes  ?  They  would  struggle  and  die.  So  far,  there- 
fore, as  a  restraining  and  moulding  influence  from  this  source  is 
concerned,  the  youth,  the  rising  generation,  who  are  the  hope 
of  the  Church,  would  be  left  to  their  own  waywardness.  And 
what  would  become  of  the  Temperance  cause  ?  It  would  retro- 
grade. The  tide  of  intoxication,  which  by  strenuous  efforts  under 
the  blessing  of  heaven,  had  been  caused  to  ebb  and  recede, 
would  set  back  again  upon  the  community  with  redoubled  vio- 
lence, desolating  the  fairest  prospects.  The  cause  of  common 
education  too,  very  much  depends  upon  the  stated  and  public 
instruction  of  the  gospel.  Withdraw  this,  and  how  rapid  would 
be  the  descent  to  ignorance  and  barbarism !  And  what  would 
become  of  the  feeble  churches  themselves  ?  Is  it  nothing  to 
"  strengthen  the  things  that  remain  and  are  ready  to  die,"  and 
to  feed  with  the  bread  of  heaven,  poor  and  famishing  disciples, 
scattered  up  and  down  in  the  Lord's  heritage  ?  Now,  in  the 
wastes  of  Zion,  all  these  causes  find,  not  their  prosperity  only, 
but  their  very  life  and  being,  in  missionary  operations.  Should 
any  then,  having  become  "  weary  in  well-doing,"  having  been 
giving  and  giving  till  they  are  tired  of  it,  despondingly  inquire, 
"  If  there  is  no  enlargement  of  the  churches,  '  what  advantage  ' 
is  there  ?     The  answer  is  obvious  :  "  much  every  way" 

The  single  aggressive  movement,  made  within  a  very  few  years 
past,  upon  the  northern  section  of  our  state,  a  land  so  lately  trod 
by  the  foot  of  the  missionary,  furnishes  in  its  results  an  ample 
reward  for  all  the  labors  and  all  the  treasures,  that  have  been 
bestowed,  within  the  same  time,  upon  the  whole  field,  of  which 
the  Society  has  the  supervision.  Take  the  opinion  of  one  who 
has  occupied  a  post  of  observation,  and  has  as  ample  means  of 
forming  a  correct  estimate,  as  any  man  in  the  region;  who  has 
had  the  pastoral  care  of  the  missionary  church  in  Houlton,  and 
is  now  leaving  that  stand  for  some  other  station  in  the  Lord's 
vineyard.  He  writes,  under  date  of  29th  ult :  "  Before  closing 
the  last  report  of  a  mission  which  has  extended  to  the  term  of 


MAINE   MISSIONARY    SOCIETY.  31 

nearly  five  years,  I  cannot  refrain  from  alluding  to  the  change 
which,  under  the  providence  of  God,  I  have  been  permitted  to 
witness  in  this  region,  under  the  operations  of  the  Missionary 
Society.  Four  years  ago  there  were  found  in  this  section  <>f  the 
State,  only  two  congregational  churches ;  that  at  Houlton5  and 
the  feeble  establishment  at  Monticcllo.  To  the  Christian  eye 
abroad,  nothing  was  visible  besides  these.  Though  dotted  over 
with  settlements  and  "  openings,"  the  vast  forests  around  this 
place  and  those  stretching  off  to  the  north  and  west  of  Monti- 
cello,  remained,  for  all  the  purposes  of  Christian  enterprize, 
much  as  they  were  the  day  after  the  creation.  But  now  the 
case  is  changed.  This  region  (larger  in  territory  than  the 
whole  State  of  Connecticut,)  has  been  faithfully  explored.  Sev- 
eral churches  have  been  organized  at  important  points.  One  at 
Fort  Fairfield,  near  the  mouth  of  the  Aroostook  river ;  one  at 
Salmon  Brook,  at  a  point  higher  up  on  the  same  river ;  one  at 
Letter  F.  on  the  Presque  Isle  ;  and  another  in  the  town  of 
Hodgdon.  These  churches,  in  connexion  with  the  two  previous- 
ly mentioned,  and  those  at  Patten,  Lincoln  and  Springfield,  have 
been  organized  into  the  Aroostook  Conference,  a  body  now  in  the 
enjoyment  of  a  vigorous  youth,  and  which  exerts  an  extensive 
and  most  happy  influence  upon  the  churches  and  the  wilderness 
at  large.  In  fine,  a  decided  advance  has  been  made  in  the 
work  of  organizing  for  permanency  the  institutions  of  religion 
and  learning  ;  in  establishing  churches,  academies  and  primary 
schools.  From  these  movements,  the  extensive  region  of  north- 
ern Maine  cannot  fail  to  reap  blessings  in  all  coming  time.  " 

There  is  unquestionably  an  auspicious  beginning.  But  it 
must  be  kept  in  mind  that  it  is  only  a  beginning.  In  order  to 
carry  out  the  design,  to  retain  what  is  possessed  and  be  reach- 
ing out  on  the  right  hand  and  on  the  left,  will  require  not  a  con- 
tinuance of  effort  only,  but  an  increase  of  men  and  means  for 
many  years  to  come.  It  is  to  be  understood,  that  there  have 
entered  into  the  same  field,  many  other  christian  denominations, 
(not  to  say,  that  some  are  unchristian  ;)  "  and  yet  there  is 
room."  There  are  extended  regions  yet  unoccupied.  "  Much 
land  yet  remains  to  be  possessed."  We  have  been  in  the  habit 
of  considering  our  field  wide  and  large.  And  to  all  practical 
purposes  to  call  forth  our  own  efforts,  it  is  so.  But  when  com- 
pared with  the  area,  over  which  the  National  Society,  of  which 
this  is  a  branch,  extends  its  supervision,  it  is  narrow  and  small. 
That  Institution  operates  through  our  whole  land,  "  in  the  length 
of  it  and  in  the  breadth  of  it."     It  employed,  the  past  year,  at

the  expense  of  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars, 
one  thousand  and  six  missionaries,  in  twenty-seven  states  and  ter- 
ritories. A  little  more  than  one-twelfth  of  these  laborers  have 
occupied  the  field  within  our  own  limits  ;  and  look  to  us  for 
remuneration. 

STATE  OF  THE  TREASURY. 

The  report  of  the  officer  of  this  department,  just  submitted 
to  the  meeting,  gives  as  the  amount  of  income  for  the  fiscal 
year,  ending  on  the  26th  instant,  $10,878  72.  But  this  sum 
includes  the  contributions  that  were  made  at  the  last  Annual 
Meeting  ;  all  which  wTent  to  liquidate  the  claims  of  laborers  of 
the  year  preceding ;  so  that  the  Trustees  began  the  year  empty 
handed.  But  they  had  strong  faith  in  the  liberality  of  the 
Christian  public;  and  pledged  the  amount  of  $1,000  beyond 
the  expenditures  of  the  former  year.  Situated  as  they  were, 
dependent  upon  the  free-will  offerings  of  the  friends  of  the  cause 
to  redeem  their  pledges,  they  did  not  dare  to  do  more ;  and 
viewing  the  wide  wastes  around  them,  and  hearing  from  every 
point  of  the  compass,  the  Macedonian  cry  of  their  poor  and  des- 
titute brethren,  "  Come  over  and  help  us  ;"  they  could  not  find 
it  in  their  hearts  to  do  less.  The  Treasurer  has  met  successive 
claims  during  the  year,  reducing  the  liabilities  of  the  Society  to 
$4,129  20  ;  and  he  has  reported  a  balance  in  the  treasury  of 
disposable  funds,  of  $477  03  ;  leaving  a  deficit  at  the  present 
time  of  only  $8,651  57  ;  somewhat  more  indeed,  than  an  av- 
erage collection,  at  the  annual  meetings  ;  but  a  little  extra  lib- 
erality, in  the  present  crisis,  will  effect  an  adjustment  of  the 
concern.  We  look  forward  to  the  time  when  the  Christian 
church  shall  manifest  the  same  largeness  of  heart  in  free-will 
offerings,  as  characterized  God's  ancient  covenant  people.  When 
they  were  passing  through  the  wilderness  to  their  earthly  Ca- 
naan, they  were  called  upon  for  voluntary  offerings,  to  erect  a 
tabernacle  for  the  Lord  of  hosts.  "  And  they  came,  both  men 
and  women,  as  many  as  were  willing-hearted,  and  brought 
bracelets,  and  ear-rings,  and  rings,  and  tablets,  all  jewels  of 
gold."  And  then  there  was  another  message.  "  The  people 
bring  much  more  than  enough  for  the  service  of  the  work  which 
the  Lord  commanded  to  make.  So  the  people  were  restrained 
from  bringing." 

PROSPECTIVE. 

The  movement  of  the  cause,  if  it  lives  and  prospers,  must  be 
onward.     This  is  emphatically  the  age  of  missions  ;  not  in  our 


MAINE    MISSIONARY    SOCIETY.  S3 

own  land  only,  but  the  world  over.  A  voice  from  heaven,  loud 
and  fcrumpet-tongued,  summons  the  sacramental  hosts  to  "go 
forward."  The  way  of  the  Lord  is  prepared.  The  time  has 
come,  when  he  is  fulfilling  his  own  word:  "I  will  shake  all 
nations."  And  he  is  shaking  them  effectually  :  some  even  to 
their  foundations.  And  thus  by  the  remarkable  providences  of 
God,  new  fields,  wide  and  large  fields,  are  "  white  to  the  har- 
vest." At  such  a  time,  especially,  men  should  he  "workers 
together  with  God,"  in  building  up  his  kin-idem.  The  prospect 
is  fair  and  promising  ;  and  indeed  success  has  already  begun. 
Not  only  the  idols  of  the  heathen  arc  cast  "  to  the  moles  and  to 
the  bats,"  but  systems  of  error,  superstition  and  delusion,  arc 
losing  their  hold  upon  the  public  mind.  The  false  prophet, 
that  had  with  the  sword  and  the  Koran,  subdued  a  moiety 
of  the  world  to  his  sway,  has  been  arrested  in  his  career ;  and  the 
beast  that  had  drunk  the  blood  of  the  saints,  and  made  error  or- 
thodox, by  prisons,  racks  and  thumb-screws,  has  received  a 
"  deadly  wound  that  cannot  be  healed  ;  "  and  the  way  is  opened 
for  the  introduction  of  a  purer  faith.  Thus  the  two  great  here- 
sies that  had  resisted  the  truth,  (papal  despotism  and  Moham- 
medan imposture,)  begin  to  feel  the  avenging  hand  of  God  upon 
them,  and  they  cannot  bear  up  under  its   pressure.     "  Rome 

BOWETH  DOWN  ;    MECCA    STOOPETH." 

But  some,  perhaps,  may  be  ready  to  say :  Suppose  all  this  to 
be  true,  what  has  it  to  do  with  the  building  up  of  the  wastes  of 
Maine,  the  object  of  our  assembling  at  this  anniversary  ?  Sup- 
pose it  to  be  true, "  known  and  read  of  all  men,"  that  the  crescent 
has  begun  to  wane,  and  that  the  triple  crown  has  begun  to  sit 
loosely  upon  the  head  of  "  the  man  of  sin,"  and  that  the  barri- 
ers they  had  thrown  around  them,  strengthened  by  the  length  of 
ages,  as  guards  against  the  entrance  of  divine  truth,  have  in  a 
great  measure  been  broken  down  and  swept  away,  so  that  "a 
wide  door  and  effectual "  is  opened,  for  planting  the  standard  of 
Christ  and  diffusing  gospel  light  in  distant  and  dark  lands,  what 
has  all  this  to  do  with  the  building  up  of  the  wastes  of  Maine  ? 
It  has  a  great  deal  to  do  with  it.  It  bears  with  peculiar 
force  upon  this  very  point.  If  we  let  our  own  vineyard  go  to 
waste,  if  feeble  churches  are  left  to  grow  feebler,  and  waste  pla- 
ces to  be  grown  over  Avith  thorns  and  thistles,  there  will  be  no 
disposition  and  no  means  to  carry  the  gospel  abroad.  If  we  are 
dead  ourselves,  "twice  dead  and  plucked  up  by  the  roots,"  who 
does  not  see,  that  we  cannot  even  be  gin  to  give  life  to  the  world? 
The  special  providence  of  God,  then,  at  this  time,  in  opening  a

wide  field  for  cultivation  in  far  off  lands,  makes  its  appeal  to  the 
conscience  and  the  heart  of  every  individual  Christian  here  pres- 
ent, and  to  the  whole  body  of  Christians  in  our  commonwealth, 
to  awake  to  unwonted  effort,  and  to  render  a  ready  and  willing 
obedience  to  the  command  given  by  our  Savior  to  his  first  disci- 
ples, and  through  them  to  Christians  in  all  succeeding  ages,  till 
the  work  is  accomplished  :  '"Go  ye  into  all  the  world  and  preach 
the  gospel  to  every  creature,"  beginning  at  Maine.
